The country we're discussing has used assassinations since long before any of the participants in this conversations were here existing. Assassination IS absolutely a solution a cultish issue. I'll go further: MAGAs are too slovenly and self-absorbed to do much of anything at all if their fearless idiot king disappeared off the stage. They would bitch and moan and then have some beer and chips while their draft picks lose. We are NOT better than that. This country has the potential to be, but not with Trump taking up our bandwidth. I don't care how the moron goes away, just that he does.
We have options. Assassination is an option. It's an option with far lower collateral damage than many others I contemplate. Being better often involves the brutality of culling the herd.
Right now let's concentrate on using the system to win. This country has in fact used assassination since long before any of us were here, but if you examine the long-term record, the ultimate success of assassination is overrated. Assassinating Diem in South Vietnam began the political "death spiral" of that country that no amount of US intervention could repair and restore. Assassinating Sitting Bull in 1890 did not lead to any sort of ultimate quiescence of Native Americans, who all still remember and do not forgive.
A Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley, or Tom Cotton type would leap into the breach and go forward with the revenge energy 45 would leave behind. That will likely happen, too, if he goes to prison, but prison has its own dynamics and 45 may feel a mite uncomfortable in the company of those he wants executed. The problem is Idiot America, those who have no grasp of history and are easily distracted by phony yowling populists.
